Our Office Building Permit Process

Once we have been hired as your commercial building surveyor, we take the time to understand all of the relevant details about your office project. We’ll determine the types of permits that are required for your particular project, ensuring that you are complying with all relevant legislation and regulations.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to commence or continue with your project. Therefore, every permit application must be incredibly thorough. We’ll ensure that you provide all of the correct documentation and information, ensuring that your application has the best possible chance of being approved.

We can then issue the office permit, once compliance has been demonstrated.
